Profits Fall by a Quarter: Why Tether Abandoned Its $20 Billion Financing Plan

In the face of a cooling crypto market and investor skepticism, Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, has significantly scaled back its ambitious fundraising plans. Initially targeting $15-20 billion, which would have valued the company at $500 billion, the firm is now considering raising only about $5 billion. CEO Paolo Ardoino downplayed the original target, calling it a "misunderstanding" and a maximum cap, not a goal, while emphasizing that Tether is highly profitable and doesn't urgently need the capital. Despite the success of its USDT stablecoin, which has a market cap of approximately $185 billion, Tether faces persistent investor caution. Concerns revolve around its $500 billion valuation—comparable to major AI firms and SpaceX—ongoing regulatory scrutiny, and the lack of a full independent audit, relying instead on quarterly attestations. Ardoino defended the valuation, contrasting Tether's substantial profits with the losses of highly-valued AI companies. While new U.S. stablecoin legislation and competitor Circle's IPO have boosted momentum, regulatory risks and Tether's controversial history remain hurdles. The company's profits fell by about a quarter in 2025, attributed to declining Bitcoin prices, though it gained $8-10 billion from its gold holdings. Tether's massive scale has made it a major player in U.S. Treasuries and gold markets, positioning it as a critical bridge between traditional finance and the volatile crypto world.

Tether Smashes Q4 Records as Crypto Slows — $187B, 534M Users, $4.4T Move

Tether's Q4 2025 attestation, audited by BDO, reported record growth despite a broader crypto market slowdown.

The user base grew to 534.5 million, adding 35.2 million new users, while on-chain transfers hit a record $4.4 trillion in volume.

Despite a 23.7% market decline in Q4, USDT dominance in stablecoin markets grew, accounting for 65.9% of transactions and 61.5% of centralized exchange spot trading.

Tether grows as crypto market shrinks in Q4, report shows

Despite a sharp contraction in the broader cryptocurrency market in Q4 2025, with total market capitalization falling from approximately $3.9 trillion to $2.6 trillion, Tether (USD₮) experienced significant growth. Its circulating supply increased steadily, reaching around $109 billion by the end of the quarter, with net issuance exceeding $10 billion. This expansion reflects a shift in investor behavior toward capital preservation and de-risking rather than exiting the crypto ecosystem entirely. Tether’s substantial holdings of U.S. Treasuries, totaling $141.6 billion, reinforced confidence during market stress. The accumulation of stablecoins suggests that investors are poised to redeploy capital once market conditions stabilize, potentially supporting future liquidity and recovery.

Tether Fails $500B Evaluation Amidst Investor Pushback as HYPER Gains Momentum

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a significant shift as Tether (USDT) faces investor resistance and fails to achieve a $500 billion valuation, driven by transparency concerns and a move towards decentralized alternatives. This has led to a rotation of liquidity into Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, which aim to unlock Bitcoin's dormant capital by enhancing its utility. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is emerging as a key player, integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to offer high-speed execution and smart contract capabilities while maintaining Bitcoin's security. It enables sub-second transactions, decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and seamless BTC transfers, addressing scalability issues. The project has raised over $31.2 million in its presale, indicating strong institutional confidence. With a current token price of $0.0136751, it offers staking rewards and aims to attract long-term investors amid growing interest in Bitcoin's programmability.

Tether’s Fundraising Plans Quietly Collapse — Is the $500B Valuation Too Much?

Tether's ambitious plan to raise $15-20 billion at a $500 billion valuation has collapsed due to investor skepticism and market volatility. The company, issuer of the USDT stablecoin, saw a 23% drop in net profit to $10 billion in 2025, further dampening investor confidence. Amid a broader crypto market downturn and concerns over its valuation and revenue sustainability, Tether has scaled back its fundraising ambitions. The firm is now testing appetite for a smaller raise but maintains its $500 billion target, which critics deem overly ambitious. The failure to secure commitments signals a significant setback for its expansion into AI, commodities, and energy infrastructure.

Finally, Aave Founder Also Buys a $30 Million Mansion

Aave founder Stani Kulechov has purchased a $30 million Victorian-style mansion in London's Notting Hill, as crypto wealth increasingly flows into real estate. The deal, completed in November 2025 amid Bitcoin's surge past $120,000, reflects a broader trend of crypto entrepreneurs diversifying digital gains into tangible assets during market peaks. Other notable transactions include Block.one CEO Brendan Blumer’s $170 million Italian villa, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s $133 million Los Angeles property, and multiple high-profile acquisitions by Stake.com founders and NFT collectors. Some purchases, like FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried’s $240 million property spree, were later exposed as misappropriated funds. The shift isn’t limited to real estate. Tether, issuer of USDT, has accumulated approximately 140 tons of physical gold—worth about $24 billion—making it one of the largest non-governmental gold holders globally. The company continues buying 1-2 tons weekly, backing its gold-pegged token XAUT and signaling a strategic move toward stable, physical reserves. According to Sotheby’s 2026 Luxury Outlook Report, cryptocurrency is increasingly influencing luxury purchases in markets like Dubai, New York, and California. Regulatory developments may soon allow crypto assets to qualify for mortgage collateral, further integrating digital wealth into traditional finance. This trend underscores a lasting convergence between crypto wealth and conventional asset classes.

Crypto Stablecoin Law Faces Pushback As New York Prosecutors Target Tether, Circle

New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with four district attorneys, is pushing back against the newly enacted GENIUS Act, the first major U.S. stablecoin law. They argue the law fails to protect victims of financial crimes, as it does not require stablecoin issuers to return stolen funds. This omission, they warn, could embolden companies to retain stolen assets. The prosecutors specifically criticized the two largest issuers, Tether and Circle. They allege Tether inconsistently freezes funds and primarily cooperates only with federal law enforcement. They claim Circle’s policies are “significantly worse,” alleging it often retains control of frozen assets to continue earning interest, creating a financial incentive to delay returning funds. Both companies rejected the allegations, asserting their commitment to combating illicit activity.
